The UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism has announced the UAE Africa Tourism Investment Summit, set to take
place on October 27, 2025, in Dubai.

This event is part of the Future Hospitality Summit (FHS World 2025), a global platform for the hospitality, tourism,
and investment industries.

The Summit's goal is to strengthen economic and tourism partnerships between the UAE and African countries,
fostering mutual investments in key sectors, especially tourism and hospitality.

To support this initiative, the Ministry signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Bench, the organisers
of FHS World, in the presence of Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, the Minister of Economy and Tourism.

The MoU was signed by Badreya Al Maidoor, Assistant Undersecretary for the Support Services Sector, and Daria
Smith, Portfolio Director at The Bench.

Both parties will work together to organise the event and coordinate promotional activities, aiming to showcase
investment opportunities in tourism-related projects across Africa.

The Summit will gather over 250 high-level attendees, including senior government officials, decision-makers, and
investors from 53 African nations, such as tourism ministers and representatives from investment promotion
agencies.
